This invention rehrtesbroadly to valvereseatin-g devices, and more particular to a valve reseating device having in easily r g u-hible feeding device, and a. 'reniovably mounted 'udaptii-lg device; principal object of theinve-ntion is to provide a novel compiling or -'conneeting means between a supporting member and an edap'e in-g' device and also toprovide means Where- In by the toolea'rryin membern iay be'1' eg-u1utd eoiw'e niently'a-nd-Jfietenuy.

Figure 18is at bottom view of the some sh wni'g its construction r I The device consists of an midter -and arei n'ovably mounted cutter on a threaded memer b. Thecuttei': c is provided with a thread-ed bore-'0 and cutting-members A su peflin member d is provided with a bore (Z threaded, a sk-irt'dt, having an in ternzi lly projecting flange (Z the skirt and flange havin a portion (8* removed therefrom forming fa partial-'1 perimetrieal flange and skirt to provide a u sh'si-ped coupling, and also having a thread d bore (F with an terrupted or broken periphery as zttd.

A member 'e hevii'iga perimeter other than round is provided with a coiiee'ved threaded surfti'ce e and an integralshaft member e The threaded surfac fi t's' against a Corr e spending side ofthe threaded member. A manipulating member f having a bore f and e threaded-peripherjr 7' :is rotatably mounted on the integrztl projecting -:portion' of the member 6 of the clam-ping member and the end is .peenedover as at e to connect the 7 units inoperative relation.- T-he clamping member isfreciprocably mounted with respect w to the supporting member. s V

.An adapting device g .is provided with a threaded diverging threaded bore 9 and with a smooth axial bore that snugly enga ges the threaded member b an annular groove 9 centering portion 9.

An adapter his eigterna lly threaded as at 'h and provided with iania'xia l bore k an annular: grooyelu and a centering portion he.

is a modified form ei amaifipu-lating member having an integral dowel i, having a member j with a threaded surface j, and a bore 9' mounted and secured thereon.

is is another modification of a manipulating member, the member Z is provided with a threaded surface Z and a countersunk bore Z and secured to the manipulating member by a screw m. a is another modification of a manipulat- 10 ing member, the member -;0 is detached from the member a and is preferably made. of fiber or the like. I V

0 is a stop member threadedly engaging the member 6. A cutter o is provided with a plurality of cutting instrumentalities, of suitable .con-

figuration as semi-circular or parabolic and such like. The cutting edge is produced by sloping the metal to .form the cutting, edges as at 0 see Fig. 1 and also enlarged'views, Figs. 17 and 18.

he operation of the device is as follows: ,The device is mounted on a faucet or valve requiring rese'ating, the manipulating memher is released in the supporting member and when such is done it is obvious that when it is turned out it carries with it the element 6. The tool shaft is then screwed down or up as the case may warrant. When the cutter is brought into cutting relation with the seat, the manipulating member is screwed to place in the supporting member, carrying with it the element 6. The element then engages thethreaded shaft by being carried endwise against the thread thereon, and the threaded surface engages thethread :on the tool shaft and clamps the tool shaft in the supporting member d. The member d, being fixed in this way to the shaft, may be rotated on the adapter device. Should it become necessary to remove additional material from the valve seat, then the manipulating memher is slightly released and the tool shaft or stem turned slightly downward. The member e,'being in engagement with the tool stem, holds the operable member or tool shaft from slipping in the device. The manipulating member with its element not only holds the tool shaft locked in the device, but also, act asa device through which feed.- ing may beand is accomplished. I

It'is obvious from the construction shown that the adapters are interchangeable with may be used on either inside or outs de threaded faucets, valves and the like. '1

. The stop member is provided 'toprevent the tool bodyslipping along the operable member, when a smooth bore is used in the support. It is apparent, that if the tool was being used on a valveover head, and the ma the member (Z making the device a tool that I t is another modified form of an adapting device having a cylindrical portion internally and externallythreaded as ca-t t? and t ,.a blorc than annular groove t? and a centering or pendant portion t J It is evident that the modified forms shown in Figs. 14, 15 and 16 may be constructed to lit the standard faucetsv or valves now in the market, and thus minimize the costof the tool construction; I I

The:embodimentof the invention illustratedvand describedherein have; been selected a for the purpose of clearly setting forththe, principles involved; It v will j be apparent, however, that the invention is susceptible of being modified to meet the different conditions encountered inits use and I therefore aimto'cover by the appended claim all modi ficat-ions within the true spiritandgscope of my invention.

\Vhat I claim as newand desireto secure by Letters Patent of the United States is A valve reseater having, in combination, a threaded tool stem, a support provided with a;U-shape'd coupling, thesupport being longitudinally bored and threaded,-. and having formed at right anglesto the longitudinal bore a second threaded bore, the second bore having circumferential interruptions formed longitudinally therein, a clamp having. a threaded face to conform to the contour of the threaded tool stem located in said secondbore and having a periphery cooperating with the interruptions of the bore a-screw' in said second bore cooperating with the bore and the clamp so asto advance and withdraw the clamp, a threaded conical adapter l1aving a smooth longitudinal bore adapted'to receive and snugly engage the threaded tool stem,.said adapter also having an. annular groove formed in the upper end thereof adapted to cooperate withv the .U-shaped coupling so that the adapter is laterally slidable into thecoupling and when positioned thereon, the longitudinal bore in the support and the bore in the adapter are in alignment.
